A bell tolls 39 times outside the childhood home of the 39th President of the United States, Jimmy Carter, as commemorations for his life and service to his country begin. We hear from his grandson and Democrat activist, Angelo Fuster who was working in the state capitol of Georgia when Jimmy Carter entered politics in the 1960s. Also on the programme: A supporter of the new government in Syria defends its decision to remove the teaching of evolution from the school classroom; and how the new teenage darts champion of the world is helping the game attract talent even younger.

Hello and welcome to NewsHour from the BBC World Service.
Coming to you live from London, I'm Sean Lay.
In Georgia, they are saying goodbye.
Goodbye to a former president of the United States, goodbye to an occupant of the governor's mansion in Atlanta, goodbye to the owner of a peanut farm in Archery, goodbye to their friend from Plains, Jimmy, the boy who became the 39th head of state of the USA.
As NewsHour comes on air, a private family service is underway for President Jimmy Carter, who died at the age of 100 last month.
It's taking place at the Carter center, an organization devoted to advancing and defending multi party democracy, which Mr.
Carter founded after leaving office during the longest post presidency in history of any occupant of the Oval Office.
Jimmy Carter was a Democrat, but official Georgia is represented this Saturday by a Republican governor, Brian Kemp, there to greet the cortege on behalf of all Georgians.
Just before 11 this morning local time, the hearse halted in Plains, the tiny town where he was born and died 100 years apart, where he was still taking Sunday school classes into his mid-90s.
As the car waited, engine purring smoothly, a bell was rung 39 times for the man who was the 39th president of the United States of America.
While the casket has just been carried into the Carter center in Atlanta.
Let's pause and hear the choir as the family file into their seats for this private service.
Holy Spirit, who is rude upon the.
Chaos, dark and rude and big, is.
Angry to the cease and give your wild confusion cease.
